MISHAWAKA Â? A trail of bullets discovered last week inside Mishawaka High School may lead to the detention at the Juvenile Justice Center of a freshman student who admitted to owning two of the bullets, according to police reports.

One .22-caliber bullet was found on Thursday in the boysÂ? locker room by a student who handed the bullet to a teacher, police reported. The same teacher told police she found two more bullets inside the locker room later the same day, and another bullet on Monday.

On Friday, a custodian of the school found an empty bullet cartridge within school grounds, police reported.

The teacher told police that a freshman student, 16, had been asking other students if they had found his bullets. Later, the same student admitted to police to owning two of the bullets.
